Our First BYD Road Trip! Atto 3 EV From London To Exeter 

I have a BYD, here in Brazil they are the most popular brand for electric cars ! I’m very happy with mine !

18 months driving a BYD Atto3. Working well, great drive, negligible maintenance cost and fuelled mostly from my rooftop.

A beautiful American couple driving a Chinese EV car in UK! This is so anti-sanction! 🤣🤣👍✌️

I'm glad the Chinese cars are giving competition to the legacy auto. My family have been buying Japanese cars for 3 decades. Over these three decades, I could see the quality has going down hill each year, while the price has gone uphill each year, and the maintenance and repair costs are also crazy. It is like they just didn't give a crap about what their customers think.

The BYD Atto 3 is very popular here in Oz

I love my BYD! Bought one last year and have zero regrets

Dave is building his dreams. He looks so happy!

Bought a BYD Dolphin to my daughter here in Malaysia and she love it so much 😊

In past year I've been to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, and Istanbul. BYDs are popular in these countries and I can't wait to try one

Nice video and I really admire your courage for driving what is considered a major national security threat to the US government.

These are everywhere in New Zealand. Im excited to watch this.

Try saying this: Hello BYD, open the sunroof. The voice control can do a lot of things for you so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.

I own this Atto 3 and I am in love with it within 6 months of use. Watching this couple is so endearing! they look like bestfriends who fell in love :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for grabbing the BYD. I am really interested in in that car. You guys just have fun with the drive. Love this.

Remember Dave. Happy wife, happy life. Thanks for taking us along.

WIfe and I were watching this video and she said our thirtieth is next year - we need to do Europe like Dave and his wife. I am booking the trip now.

Hey Dave, I was living in Beijing in the early 2000s when BYD was starting up and they actively poached expat senior automotive engineers who were working in China for German auto manufacturers. These senior engineers laid the foundation in design and development of BYDs line. Your positive experience points to BYDs success. I can’t say that the other Chinese EV companies laid the same foundation in their start up, net BYD is the one to watch. Their growth in developing world countries due to price advantage bears watching for sure.

I want BYD in the USA! Compeition is key.

Dave driving in Roundabouts is better than any amusement park ride I taken in the last couple years.

BYD is the car 🚙 to drive around, :::: Fantastic

You guys looks 20 years old to me. So energetic and interesting character! Love it

great video and thanks Dave and Kathy great fun and glad that you took the BYD Atto 3 over the other cars, i have a BYD Seal now 7 months and enjoying it every time i drive it hi from Melbourne Australia

Thanks for the video! It felt like I was on a 50-minute carpool adventure with you two. 😂 Kathy, you totally reminded me of my wife-always playing the role of the assistant driver when I'm behind the wheel. Fingers crossed for China’s EVs to hit the US market soon. One thing's for sure: consumers will be the real winners in that competition showdown!

All controls can be voice activated. Just say "Hi BYD" followed by your instruction like "wind down the passenger window". or press the button with the microphone button on the top right of the steering wheel.

45:30 that's just the polarised sunglasses 😎 aligning with polariser on the lcd screens when rotated

Byd is very popular here in Australia. Brits seem to be paying alot, Atto 3 retails for 30,000 usd in Australia. Byd build quality is imo better than tesla. The software on the other hand needs refinement the driver assistance is bad compared to tesla. Also, you can play smoke on the water with those door strings😂. BTW Kathy's sunglasses (if they're polarised) could be why she can't see the screen.

Hey, great vlog! You make a good team. When driving in the UK Remember the mantra: keep left, look right. It is good to hear a Westerner say something positive about China for a change. I first visited China in 1990, and there were hardly any cars; everyone was on bicycles. Last year, I went back to China. The town I had visited in 1990 had transformed into a modern city of skyscrapers with a metro and bullet trains. In 40 years, they've built a society that has improved the lives of ordinary Chinese, lifting 800 million people out of poverty, increasing GDP per capita from $200 to $12,000, and building the best infrastructure in the world with a high-speed rail network of over 40,000 km. I just watched an American RU-vidr from Chongqing, a city in SW China, where 30-50% of cars on the road are "green-plated" EVs. He said, "Just listen for a minute. We're in a city of 35 million. There's traffic in front of us, but there's an absence of the noise of running IC engines.".

I'm Chinese , but i got my driving license in England. This video reminds me the nice days driving on the beautiful country roads. Thank you.

Welcome to England! I saw the Atto 3 in a Shopping Mall in Malaysia. I wasn't keen on the musical design theme inside the car but the fit and finish, the build quality and the graphics are better than my eNiro in the UK.

ROFLMAO…. 😂😂😂😂 I’m about to make this video into a drinking game.. “Everytime Dave says whoa, Everytime gps says youre speeding, Everytime Cathy grabs the door..” but I can’t afford to get that messed up today…. Safe travels you crazy kids!!! 🤣🤣🤣

BYD ATTO 3's name in China is Yuan PLUS, which is named after the dynasty. It is priced at 110,000-140,000 yuan (15,000-19,200 US dollars). It is the same price as the Corolla and is BYD's cheapest electric SUV.

Thank you guys very much for showing us this BYD EV car, which was what I was curious about it for a while.

Having seen your video, I might give BYD my next choice of car. Thank you for sharing your video. Good luck and safe driving in UK.

Best and funniest car review ever. I can totally relate to Dave after our trip to New Zealand, when the wife says you’re driving too close to the edge of the road

The two of you are just so funny together. Two very beautiful people with great personalities.

You understand in Australia this BYD Atto 3 that you are driving is $44.300AUD yet a basic Toyota Corola is basic no nav is $39,230AUD

Guide for Americans Driving in U.K.: - Drive on left - Do not turn left on red (right on red equivalent, it is illegal) - Roundabouts you give way to traffic to your right or people already in the roundabout (do not give way to left or stop in the middle of the roundabout, it will cause confusion) - On roundabout signal left for exit left, no signal for straight across, right signal for right exit then signal left to take the exit - Do not undertake (left side of car) - Move across to left most lane when possible unless overtaking (you can get a ticket) - The speed limit on motorway is 70mph unless signed otherwise (the white circle with black line means national speed limit which is 60mph on country roads and 70mph on divided motorways) - Our fuel is in litres but our cars are in miles per gallon and a gallon is 4.4 litres not 3.8 litres like in USA - City/town speed limit is 30mph unless signed otherwise - Get yourself a Greggs sausage roll

Love your road trips guys! Also that you don´t know everything perfectly and admit it - part of the bantering. Really really good.

The best EV BYD

Loving your trip, the Atto 3 is under $50k(AUD) drive-away in Australia, it is a very affordable and good car. Doesn't charge super fast but still not terrible peak charging rate. Welcome to the RHD world as well as the round-abouts. Doesn't have one-pedal driving either but it was my 2nd choice for my latest. Go Kath, "Attention span of a squirrel", poor Dave but he did agree with you.

We use CCS2 in Australia too. I haven't tried my BYD Atto 3 on a Tesla supercharger yet, will try it next month when I drive Sydney to Brisbane approx 1100km

That skylight is very cool, and it poked my like. Imagine lying in the car counting the stars in the sky on a sunny summer night. Well, what a quiet life

You two are hilarious, love watching your banter haha. The Atto 3 is a really nice looking car! Very unique

I really love BYD Seal. But the import tax here is crazy high 😢😢😢

One of your best videos Dave. Kathy is hilarious.

BYD is popular in Malaysia waiting time 2-3 mths.

The lady is soo matured and it doesn’t mean he isn’t but the timing is all matters!

Great to see Out of Spec in the UK..Enjoy your trip 🎉

Welcome to England, so far this is quality entertainment

What a great video, best content yet. Thank you guys for sharing.😊

You got lucky with the weather the week you arrived it was perfect, this week it’s terrible, it’s been raining every day. Have a great trip!

Dave, this BYD Atto 3 is European model of BYD Yuan Plus which is sold in China. You won’t believe it that there are several BYD Yuan Plus in Pasadena, California. Those are corporate cars for BYD North America in SoCal. Actually you can see BYD cars in LA from more than ten years ago.

BYD will be the no 1 car company in the world for sure.... Sad news for all the Japanese and German car companies 😢

Dave if you wondering why you're driving on the left it keeps your sword hand free in case you meet any thieves on the highway

Typifies Made in China offers value for money, good quality yet at affordable price.

North American price is $44200 (Mexico).

BYD currently builds electric buses in the United States at their Lancaster, California facility. They have invested heavily in the U.S., but there are currently no plans to manufacture electric vehicles for the consumer market.

Really enjoyable video. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one 🇬🇧

Top tip for driving in the UK keep to the left unless you’re overtaking. Undertaking is frowned on

BYD are solid cars. Try the Xpeng with self-parking software.

Stonehenge? Ah, let’s just drive by it!!!

Hi Dave, 作为中国人希望你们试试BYD的车辆语音控制系统，这才是BYD最棒的地方~ 一旦你用了之后你就会爱上~ 我发现其他国家的BYD的驾驶者从来不用这些系统，OMG ~ 真的建议你尝试一下，非常好用~🎉

I love the husband and wife dynamic

You can also visit Thailand🇹🇭. Thousands of BYD Atto3, Dolphin and Seal, Tesla and other cool brands you've never heard of are on the streets of Bangkok and major cities. We are suffering from sky high and rising gas prices. I personally enjoy the ChangAn Deepal L07. Plenty of sunshine all year round allows us to install affordable solar cells on the roof. We go to gas stations here to use washroom and inflate my tyre's only. 🎉🎉🎉

Just came across your video guys, really enjoyed your trip to Exeter, look forward to checking out your other videos, lovely couple who compliment each other beautifully, you just gained a new subscriber in Ireland 🇮🇪

Welcome to Europe. Im a new subscriber from Sweden 🇸🇪. A friend of my drives a BYD Atto 3, its a very cheap EV, he pays only 276$ a month.

OMG you guys in UK! If you come up to Manchester say "hi"! Huge fan of you guys, specially during road trips. Have a great time!!!

Welcome to the U.K. Dave and Kathy!

Great trip, and the town names we came up with them first here in the U.K.

Warren Buffet was investing in BYD long before most Americans ever heard of them. Now that they're the #1 electric car maker in terms of worldwide sales, it's just a matter of time before dealerships start opening in America. The tariffs can only hold back Chinese EVs for so long.

Kathy's sunglasses are probably polarized and when the screen is vertical the light polarization is opposite to her glasses and that's why she can't see the screen in that mode. I bet if she took her sunglasses off she could see the screen just fine in either mode. :)

She is soooo relaxed and having fun. Good one guys.

Great video. I was in Exeter a couple of weeks ago, would have been rather surprised, to put it mildly, if I’d run into Out of Spec Dave while charging 😀

The price of BYD Yuan Plus is between $16,000 and $22,000 in China.

When dave was telling his speculations about the polarized screen..granny got a little angry 😂😂😂😂...lol that was funny to watch.

Kathy makes the video - she’s terrific!

Very interesting as i drive many of these roads frequently. Luckily didn't encounter Dave on a roundabout !

Love seeing familiar roads 😊

Love this video. You two are so good on camera together. 😃

Great pick.

The new BYD car Atto 3, Seal and Dolphin can come to US and Canada no politics thing inside.

Hey Cathy, do you have a “holy sh*t” bar? You could have used it going through those roundabouts. 😂😂😂😂

I like that Kathy recalled the line from the movie, Up! "Squirrel!", said by the dog, Dug, as he immediately interrupts a conversation when noticing a squirrel in the distance.

The dream team! Come back to the UK again soon.

Dave is in my home land? Amazing! 🙌🏼 Come to the north of England next time you're here - it's really pretty!

Given my experience of 20 years, I must assure you beyond any shade of doubt that the wife is right.

Welcome to the United Britain of Kingdon Englandland ! I absolutely loved this video and the previous one. Just to think we were only a few miles apart. I could have said hello. Loved the banter/shooting the breeze with Cathy, especially the first 20 minutes. This really cheered me up last night as I couldn't sleep with toothache. Did you see a Honda e on your travels, my car??

People should be allowed to buy what they want at the price which is of greatest value. Consumer should not be penalised with sanction tariffs.

Those sunnies are chill for sure 😎 😅

Try looking at the screen without polarised glasses. All you had to do is swap positions and check it yourself Dave. I'll be interested if it was sorted out? 👍 😊

30:01 Thanks for the graphic. Very helpful.

Can't believe you two are in the UK. Welcome home!! 😂

Very nice video. Kathy can't see the screen because of her polarised sunglasses.

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤

You're committing a big offence against sanction!! 😂😂😂

Loved this first video. Gregg’s is definitely your kinda place for roadtrip snacks. No Buc’ees in the UK yet though :)

The wife had a big smile, when you mentioned the Honda Accord 1978. 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

Certainly put a smile on my face !

Welcome to Britain guys, have a great time. I've got a Vauxhall Ampera (Chevy volt) and live in Boston Lincolnshire if you fancy a visit. Nick x

You can use voice control
